“The thing that you keep in mind while you're stacking sats is, have a dream. I have dreams. I want to accomplish these dreams. And that's what you're working for. We now have a way to save our value and not have it be stolen from us.” On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with SAT, AKA Lightning Goats. I met Sat through Nostr because I stumbled upon his awesome project where he live streams his goats from his off-the-grid homestead and whenever you zap bitcoin to the goats’ lightning address it automatically feeds them.

“The great thing about technological innovation like Bitcoin is that regardless of what people are able to do about their local politicians or central banks, they can opt in and use Bitcoin. That is now available to 8 billion people, and that's going to change the world.” On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Natalie Smolenski. Natalie is an Anthropologist, Executive Director of the Texas Bitcoin Foundation, and a Senior Fellow Bitcoin Policy Institute.

“The wave hasn't even come… we're just kind of like on the beach and the wave's kind of creeping up, but it's still so much liquidity that's going to come in.” On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Sam Callahan. Sam is a macro analyst who recently worked on a report with Lyn Alden called Bitcoin: A Global Liquidity Barometer, and we dig deep into this report today. But we also get into the next wave of Bitcoin adoption, the shifting Overton window around bitcoin, the US and global macro environment, fiscal dominance, fiat debasement, whether anything stops this train, the ponzi scheme of social security, and a whole lot more. Sam also just got married this weekend providing that while Bitcoin doesn’t help get you a girlfriend, it can help you find a wife.

“If you want to change the world, you start with the kids.” On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Jonny Vance, co-creator and writer of Tuttle Twins TV. If you’re not familiar with Tuttle Twins, it’s an educational animated children’s TV show that teaches kids principles of freedom, Austrian economics, and Bitcoin, all while being incredibly hilarious. Tuttle Twins makes complex topics easy to understand for children (and adults), while teaching them about history and encouraging critical thinking.

“It seemed like a risky thing. But the more I did understand it, the more I was like NOT having bitcoin is the real risk. OK, the price goes up and down. But at the end of the day, even there in the worst of the bear markets, I'd be like, has anything really changed other than the price? Nothing has changed fundamentally. So why would my belief in this change?” On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Mandrik, a Bitcoin OG who started selling Baklava for Bitcoin back in 2011.

“For an artist or a writer or creator of any type, you suddenly have the potential to have a worldwide audience, a connection worldwide with anybody and if any of those people choose to support you they can do so instantly and those funds are in your wallet and you can go spend them… It really is magical, and that sounds cheesy, but it truly is.” On this Bitcoin Talk (and Nostr Talk) episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks anonymous Nostr memelords Corndalorian and Quiet Warrior, aka Corn and QW. We streamed this episode live on zap.stream. If you’re not familiar with Nostr, this episode is a great introduction to WHY you should be on Nostr, specific opportunities for content creators to monetize their talents on Nostr within the value for value ecosystem, memes, vibes, and a whole lot more.

"Prosperity happens because you have good money and you have a community that trades. Government is the opposite of that. It is literally cancer. The fiat system is cancer. We have cancer. And you cannot fix cancer. You cannot just get radiation every week. You have to cut it out." In this RANDOM RANT, Walker and Guy Swann discuss FEMA, Hurricane Helene, government corruption, the illusion of ownership in modern society, poverty as the default state of existence and that true prosperity arises from good money and community trade. Guy Swann likens government and the fiat system to cancer, suggesting that they are detrimental to society and must be removed rather than treated.

"They have to create wars. They have to create chaos in order to bring about a new world order. It's that simple. And anyone that thinks that this is a conspiracy theory, go f***ing do the work!" On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Efrat Fenigson. Efrat is an independent journalist, a Bitcoin and freedom maximalist, and the host of Your The Voice Podcast. This episode is quite unique, because Efrat lives in Tel Aviv and in the middle of our conversation she started to hear the missile warning sirens and then started hearing missiles exploding, but she insisted we keep the conversation going. We went deep into a lot of topics today from the escalating conflict in the middle east, to mental and spiritual resilience, CBDCs, personal responsibility, censorship, the role of journalism in exposing truths, government psyops, free speech, globalist agendas, the New World Order, Bitcoin, Nostr, and how to find signal amidst all the incessant noise in this crazy world.

"Everyone just gets gravity. Everyone gets the protocol and we all live within that. And that's a rule without rulers. And I think Bitcoin is like gravity where it's just everyone gets free and open source money. Everyone gets programmable money, programmed and designed to maintain its purchasing power. And that's a rule." On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Adam O'Brien, the founder & CEO of Bitcoin Well. We talk about Adam’s experience getting debanked by every bank in Canada, why fiat absolutely sucks, financial censorship, short-term fiat thinking vs long term bitcoin thinking, the political implications of separating money from state, the Bitcoiner ethos, family, why you need Bitcoin, and a whole lot more.

"Bitcoin implicates the First Amendment. As a system for collecting and communicating information ranging from payment data to art, bitcoin is speech. As a statement of protest against the government’s monopoly over money, bitcoin is expressive conduct. And as a collection of individuals that share bitcoin’s hard-coded principles of individual liberty, anti-censorship, and anti-debasement, bitcoin is an expressive association. Bitcoin is free speech protected by the First Amendment and therefore regulating bitcoin has clear constitutional implications." On this Bitcoin Out Loud episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker reads "Bitcoin’s Protection under the First Amendment" by Ross Stevens.
